FROME is one of thousands of communities to screen a new film, The People’s Emergency Briefing, at the Cheese and Grain on Thursday, May 21, at 7pm.

In November 2025, more than 1,200 MPs, peers and leaders gathered at Westminster Central Hall for the National Emergency Briefing. A landmark event, it brought together leading experts to assess the UK’s exposure to climate and nature risks.

This national event has been adapted into a 50-minute public film, The People’s Emergency Briefing, which launched nationwide on April 7.

Hosted by campaigner Chris Packham, participants like Dragon’s Den’s Deborah Meaden are asked to view and comment on the film.

Tickets are free, with a suggested donation of £3 towards climate action in Frome, bookable at tinyurl.com/emergency-briefing-frome
